More Genetics!

Corn...kernels...so many kernels. I don't think I can look at a corn on the cob the same way ever again. We were given cobs of corn in class and had to determine the corn's parents' genotype and phenotype. This involved the counting of corn kernels. SO MANY KERNELS! I 'm pretty sure I had to start counting over so many times because I kept getting lost in the kernels. But eventually we did it and were able to determine the genotype and phenotype using what we learned from the past two classes.

We reviewed and practiced some genetic problems again. I think I'm starting to understand it a little more. However, I still really need to sit down and practice some genetic problems, because I am seriously slow. Everyone in my class will know the answer way before me while I'm still writing down the trait information. It's a slight problem. We also went over sex chromosomes and worked on some problems about Labradors. The test is coming soon, so I better get studying and perfecting my knowledge on genetics. But now it is time for Thanksgiving break and I can relax! Oh, just kidding, I have a bio project to do...hooray.
